The asking price of €225,000 is 40% below the average asking price in the Professorenbuurt (€372,948) and also below the median of €325,000. However, the apartment is 64 m², which is 26% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 86 m². Given the lower square footage, the price per m² is roughly in line with the market, making it a reasonable entry point for a compact home in a popular area.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The apartment has energy label C. That means it has reasonable insulation and energy efficiency, not the best, but far from the worst. You can expect moderate energy bills. In the neighbourhood, about 28% of homes have label C, while 30% have label D or lower, so this home is around average for the area.
How is the neighbourhood for families?

Residents mention several schools, playgrounds and parks, and one says it's "perfect for students but also for families." Another notes it's "a great place to live" despite some messiness. So it's family-friendly in terms of amenities, but the atmosphere is youthful.
What are the public transport options?
The nearest train station is 1.7 km away, about a 20-minute walk or a short cycle. The city centre is easily reachable by bike.
How safe is the Professorenbuurt?
Residents feel safe. One says "definitely a safe neighbourhood," and another mentions a "safe feeling of living." The total number of crimes reported in the area is 464, but without context per capita, it's hard to compare. Overall, the reviews suggest it's a secure place to live.
What is the parking situation like?
Parking can be tight, especially for bikes. One resident notes "sometimes there aren't enough places to park your bike." Car parking is not specifically mentioned, but in a dense urban area with many students, it may be limited. The home is in a busy part of Groningen.
